I kinda got addicted to sleep medicine.

When I stop taking them, I have weird nightmares.

Last night (actually the "night" happened like 24 hours ago) I had a weird dream about taking a train for some reason, then everyone around me suddenly turned into zombies.

Like what the actual fuck.

I'm gonna get creeped out if I ever get on a train ride.

But shitty thing about sleep medicine is that they apparantly cause dementia if you take them a lot.

ugh idk what to do, don't wanna get in weird zombie apocalypse dreams tho... ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Something with diphenhydramine or doxylamine? They aren't great to take for very long at all.

But if you notice a dependency, I don't recommend the RX sleep meds I've been on for so long. One was effective for a very long time (15 years? Lunesta I think) but has gotten weaker and weaker. I'm terrified of stopping it though, its a nonbenzodiazapine so it binds to the same stuff as benzos. Taking something so long like that is bound to cause problems when I stop.

I've heard therapy helps. But I'm not sure how. Hasn't done much for me.
